Swiss Chard Seeds

Useful gardening infomation

Planting Tips:Seeds are scattered in the row 1/2 to 1 inch deep. In home gardens or market gardens, chard seedlings should be thinned to a 3-inch spacing between plants. Thinnings can be eaten cooked, or raw in salads. Rows should be spaced 2 to 3 feet apart. One standard packet of seed will plant 25 feet of row; one ounce will plant 100 feet. The closer spacing allows the foliage to shade the soil better and helps prevent germination of warm season grassy weeds.
